By Dr. Dawna Markova.

You don't have to discover penicillin, feed the poor in the streets of Calcutta, or be the first person to swim to Antarctica to make a remarkable difference in the world. The stories in Spot of Grace tell about moments when one person did something very simple — asked a question in wonder, smiled from the heart, risked a reach across the chasm of isolation so many of us experience. Extraordinary things start with these ordinary gestures. And as they grow and flourish, they can make a profound difference in someone else's life.

Says Deepak Chopra: "In Spot of Grace, Dawna Markova provides inspiring stories that guide us to live from the source of lasting happiness – true inner joy."
